(n.p.), (n.p.), [ca.1962]. Two pages (both sides of one sheet) of handwritten notes by Ginsberg that begin: "Stotras to Kali....form of this poem is modelled on Sanskrit 'Hymns to the Goddess' translated by Arthur Avalon...." References to Indian Journals (where "Notes to Stotras for Kali" appeared) and to p. 26 in the proofs. An additional half dozen or more attempts to express something in French (most crossed out, but still legible). Folded in fourths; near fine. A glimpse of Ginsberg's process, and the range of his influences.
